No. I'm a Doncic fan but based on what we've seen so far, he is not a better prospect than Ayton. The latter has potential to be an all-time great big man and possibly be better than Embiid. I don't say that lightly.
Sexton is a big time prospect and young even for a freshman I believe. If we didn't already have Fox, I'd be keeping an even closer eye on him. He could easily go top 5 or 6 by seasons end.
Curious as to what people think of Trae Young and Nick Richards? Young looks very impressive to me, he is deceptively athletic and a really good passer. He reminds me of Harden although he's not as big. Richards also had a brilliant game recently, and he really reminded me of Karl Anthony Towns in that game with his skillset, size and athleticism.
The question with Young, is can he sustain what he's doing. With his skill set he reminds me of a taller version of his predecessor, Jawun Evans, who rose up the draft charts last year. Listed at around 6'2", he might look more attractive to teams than Evans did.
If Richards can become consistent with his efforts then people will start to take notice. He's definitely a talent to keep your eye on.
I wasn't to begin with, but am now, a big Doncic fan. The dude has convinced me. Too many times in the past I've passed on solid talent to bet on potential. Too many times the player I passed on became a star, while the potential star became a bust, or a rotational player at best. Ben McLemore anyone?
That's not to say that Ayton hasn't impressed me. He has and then some. Originally I had him in the 4th spot, and now, because of Porter's injury, I have him at number 2. If Porter was healthy, I'd have him at number 2 and Ayton at 3. Some on this forum are seriously underselling Porter. I think he's far more talented than Tatum was last year, and I would have taken him over Wiggins if he had been in that draft. I would have taken Porter over Simmons, but that's without knowing how good Simmons would turn out to be. All I'm saying is that Porter is a serious talent, who still has a high upside, and a very high floor. To my mind, his back is the only issue. If healthy, I can easily see Porter being the number one option on a team, and at worse, the number two option. In other words, a star.
At the end of the day, if the Kings walk away from next years draft with any of Doncic, Porter, Ayton, or Bagley, I won't be unhappy. I haven't made up my mind on Bamba yet. This may sound crazy, but if I had to choose between Bamba and Sexton, I just might take Sexton, and I wouldn't have said that a couple of months ago. That dude knows no fear. I think he's going to be scary good. The jury is still out for me on Jaren Jackson, but he could enter the fray as well. There are a lot of good big's in the coming draft.
